No, Batman possesses no superhuman abilities. He relies on peak human physical conditioning, genius-level intellect, master detective skills, martial arts expertise, and vast wealth to create advanced technology. This 'human' aspect is a core part of his appeal—he stands among gods (like Superman and Wonder Woman) as a mortal man who earned his place through sheer willpower and discipline.

Batman's refusal to kill is central to his morality. He believes that if he crosses that line, he is no better than the criminals he fights and that there is no turning back. It stems from the trauma of witnessing his parents' murder; he wants to prevent death, not cause it. However, this rule has been tested and occasionally broken in alternate continuities (like the Snyderverse) or early Golden Age comics.

There have been five main Robins in continuity:

Batman is famous for his paranoia and preparedness. He has created detailed contingency plans to neutralize every member of the Justice League (including himself) in case they go rogue or are mind-controlled. These plans famously include Red Kryptonite for Superman, dehydration formulas for Aquaman, and a nanite virus for Cyborg. These plans were stolen by Ra's al Ghul in the 'Tower of Babel' storyline.

Gotham is fictional but heavily inspired by New York City (at night) and Chicago (for its gothic architecture and alleyways). Famous writer Dennis O'Neil described it as "Manhattan below Fourteenth Street at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November." It represents the darker, grimier aspects of urban life, contrasting with Superman's Metropolis.

The Joker's true identity is one of the greatest mysteries in comics. He prefers his past to be 'multiple choice.' The most common origin (from The Killing Joke) is that he was a failed comedian who fell into a vat of chemicals, but this is often presented as just one possibility. In the 'Three Jokers' storyline, it was suggested there might be three different individuals acting as the Joker over time.

The Court of Owls is a secret society of Gotham's oldest and wealthiest families who have controlled the city from the shadows for centuries. Introduced in the New 52 era by Scott Snyder, they use undead assassins called Talons to enforce their will. They represent a threat that predates Batman, challenging his belief that he knows his city better than anyone.

Batman and Superman are usually best friends, but they fight when their ideologies clash or one is mind-controlled. Batman represents human order and cynicism, while Superman represents alien power and idealism. Their fights (like in The Dark Knight Returns) often explore themes of authority vs. freedom. Batman usually wins by exploiting Superman's weaknesses (Kryptonite) and his unwillingness to use lethal force.

After witnessing the murder of his parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, in Crime Alley, young Bruce swore an oath to war on all criminals. He spent his youth traveling the world, training in martial arts, criminology, manhunting, and chemistry under various masters (like Henri Ducard and Kirigi). He chose the bat persona to strike fear into the hearts of criminals, utilizing his childhood phobia against them.

The Bat-Family is the network of vigilantes who operate in Gotham with Batman's approval. Key members include Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Batgirl/Oracle (Barbara Gordon), Red Hood (Jason Todd), Red Robin (Tim Drake), Robin (Damian Wayne), Batwoman (Kate Kane), and Alfred Pennyworth. They serve as Bruce's surrogate family, keeping him grounded and preventing him from succumbing to total darkness.
